Turkson Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Of the bitter experiences in the days of Slavery,
Of the days gone by in pains and with joy;
But try to damper the spirits of others and move on.

We all need life and we all have pain,
But one day comes joy to make us smile;
For the transgressed of the laws changed the ordinace.

Turkson, an everlasting Covenant of love was laid between us;
But it had been put into the sand today;
And it behoved all of us to play our part to deal with this problem,
For you left me suddenly without a clue on this matter.
